Sung Jinwoo's Shadow Exchange makes distance pointless
Shadow Exchange is an exclusive teleport ability for Shadow Monarch in Solo Leveling. At first, Sung Jinwoo used Shadow Exchange to switch positions with one of his shadow foot soldiers when the situation required his immediate presence. It also had a cooldown of three hours and later two hours when the Shadow Exchange skill reached level 2.
When Sung Jinwoo awakened his true powers, the Shadow Exchange's limitations were erased forever. Jinwoo can now use it as an instant portal without consuming mana or waiting for a cooldown. In other words, Jinwoo can now skip the airport completely, something he couldn't do before he got Ashborn's full power.

Before Boruto Uzumaki developed his modified version of the Flying Thunder God Technique i Two blue VortexesMinato Namikaze was the shinobi most synonymous with Tobirama Senju's signature spacetime ninjutsu Naruto series. He enjoyed using it when he was still alive and even after Orochimaru summoned him with the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu during the Fourth Great Ninja War. As long as Minato's marked seals are intact, he can freely teleport to any of them at a moment's notice. He can even teleport explosive attacks, including Tailed Beast Bombs. Even Tobirama recognized Minato's exceptional skill with the Flying Thunder God technique and praised the speed of his teleportation. Minato primarily places his Flying Thunder God formula on his custom three-pronged kunai, which acts as a teleportation anchor.

No distance is too great for Son Goku's live broadcast
Every shonen anime fan probably tried to use Son Goku's iconic Instant Transmission technique in Dragon Ball sometime in his childhood. By simply pressing his index and middle fingers to his forehead, Son Goku can teleport as long as he can lock onto a person's ki signature or their location. Its effective range can range from mere meters to light years, with some uses allowing Son Goku to travel beyond the limitations of time.
On the surface, Son Goku's Instant Transmission appears to be a simple teleportation technique, but it actually works by temporarily demolecularizing his atoms while fusing his energy before instantly reforming at its destination. It goes without saying that Instant Transmission is one of Son Goku's most useful abilities, allowing him to save countless people by arriving just when he's needed or when they need to be moved away from harm.
